Challenges for Alabama
Alabama 2018 already looks stronger than the 2017 Tide team. Bama’s biggest concern is taking each opponent one at a time and not getting a bloody nose. This Vol team could be dangerous in Knoxville. They have a coach that is very familiar with the Tide and Neyland Stadium will be rocking. Bama must stick to their script and take care of business or the feisty Vols could pull off a huge upset. But this very, very likely won’t happen this year or next.
Challenges for Tennessee
The Vols just need to play Alabama like they did Auburn. Down by down hit harder and be more aggressive. UT can’t go in treating Bama like they are some sort of football Gods. They pull their pants on the same way as the other 119 FBS teams. Whatever the Vols do though, don’t get cocky and act stupid. If Bama shows up sleepwalking the last thing you want to do is wake them up.
Saturday’s game kicks off at 2:30 pm CT (3:30 ET) and can be seen on CBS.
